[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 3293492, member: 75525"]The weights arrived today. Not bad for a box that shipped to Texas after Christmas from the Netherlands. The letters could be BLZ. The number below could be 200, 2.00 or something else. I can not read the letters in the lower right corner of the tag - maybe: WO 8C weight = 135 grams; about 5 uncia / ounces if Roman dimensions: 29 mm dia X 36 mm tall The weight had a steel hanger that rusted and broke off. [ATTACH=full]871102[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]871103[/ATTACH] Weight #2 is 209 grams. Dimensions = 37 mm dia X 21 mm tall (Pb part). The steel hanger rusted, but did not fall off. I can guess there was a loop on top and something below to hold the weight on the hanger. The hanger is 55 mm tall. I have seen lots of lead pieces like these.
